Glad Woody is being honored.

It didn't turn out that Woody's proclamation about copyright held true. If you illegally use his songs you will hear from his publisher and royalties will be exacted.

There is something about the copyright law that needs to be looked at. But the publisher, not the songwriter controls that copyright.

I hope that Woody was able to see some money for his efforts, though. He wasn't paid what he deserved.
